There are a few things I hate about running and while I was running today I was making a list in my mind.
1. Red air days here in Cache Valley so I'm confined to a treadmill or not running at all.
2. Running on a stupid treadmill.
3. The difference in my paces on a treadmill and outside, even when I push myself on the stupid treadmills my pace is around 2 min/mile slower than running outside (maybe it's a mental block or something but I still hate it).
4. Cars that honk at you when you're running just to honk (and the fact that I always jump when they do).
5. Cars that think they need to drive as close to you without hitting you as possible because you're in "their" road. (If the sidewalk is non-existent or buried under a foot of snow I think it's ok to run on the shoulder of the road).
There were some more but of course I couldn't remember them once I was finished running. But as a side note I ran 5.2 miles in 49:43 today and it was icy roads and only 25 degrees. I was pretty excited to be able to keep my pace in the same range when I increase from 3.5 miles to 5.2.
Also here is a link for a funny article about running.

I have the same feelings of treadmills as well, I just don't run as well as when I am outside
